(John Ransom, Headline USA) The World Economic Forum is once again pushing the idea of digital identity verification to monitor and control all manner of personal behavior from banking to social media to healthcare according to Reclaim the Net.
In a move long cautioned against by dystopian science–fiction literature, the globalist “Great Reset” group suggested that these passports be physically embedded into every individual.

“The WEF suggests that this data-collection dragnet would allow a digital ID to scoop up data on people’s online behavior, purchase history, network usage, credit history, biometrics, names, national identity numbers, medical history, travel history, social accounts, e-government accounts, bank accounts, energy usage, health stats, education and more,” said Reclaim the Net.
The scheme was published in a report last week titled “Advancing Digital Agency: The Power of Data Intermediaries.”
Incredibly, one organization eager to hear from the WEF is the US House of Representatives. The Democrat-led House welcomed WEF testimony in front of the House Financial Services AI Task Force over the summer, reported Sociable.
WEF spoke on the issue of digital identity in conjunction with the Fast IDentity Online Alliance and the Better Identity Coalition.
“During the hearing, we saw the coming together of those organizations’ solutions play out in the US House of Representatives” reported Sociable.
“We also saw the WEF’s globalist agenda of public–private collaborations—the merger corporate and state power for any given problem—being openly discussed in Congress,” it added.
Elizabeth Renieris, who is the founding director of the IBM Technology Ethics Lab at the University of Notre Dame, warned that under no circumstances should the government consider mandatory biometric IDs.
“In a lot of other countries, the digital identity systems are basically mandated national ID schemes that are tied to civil registration and vital statistics,” Renieris testified according to Sociable.
“If you can’t obtain a digital identity in those countries, you are effectively locked out of life,” she added. “There is basically nothing you can do, and you don’t exist.”
Countries like China, for example, which WEF cited last year as a model example of how digital biometrics can work as “recovery accelerators” from the COVID economy.
The WEF said that evidence out of China is that digital services, including IDs and biometric systems have “transformed consumer habits and delivered tangible benefits” to Chinese citizens, according to the trade magazine Biometric Update.
It’s safe to say that those are benefits the world can likely do without. As Italian dictator Benito Mussolini said, “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”
